Man, for about 2 weeks now it's been impossible to play at part time throughout EU / Middle East / Asia because of some internet routing issue that may or may not be Anet's fault. They've said nothing about it despite massive threads on the forums. The German language thread has an insane amount of replies.

It's about 3 hours peak time, and most of the afternoon / evenings weekends.

Got this game last year but haven't played since last December..Does anyone wanna play together? I would be willing to roll a new character, as of right now I have a LV80 Warrior, but I'd be willing to try a Guardian or the likes. Really wanna get back into it but I am so far detached from the game now that it's tough.

Soon begins actually being able to see more than just a few enemies in WvW.

Saw that the other day, too. It's nice to see the copied they system from Aion so that we can only show nameplates. It worked out pretty well in that game. And there is no flying thank god. Which was the worst part of rvr in Aion.

For anyone who experienced Code 7 and the other related connection issues, I've been semi-plauged by them, wondering if transferring to another server helped anyone out? I'm assume it makes no difference since it's all on the "same server" just different worlds, but though I'd ask with the free transfer to medium realms.

It's great fun. It's a complete departure and a lot of work has clearly gone into it. I hope they keep it around longer than just a month.

Well they've dropped a hint they will be adding more to it. They said since they didn't have the time to get a few weapon skins finished they will be put in as rewards for new worlds.

Info on the Dragon Bash coming next week:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/june-11-2013/#dragon-bash-2

Looks nice...I guess. Although once again it's not really adding any new content to the game. Just skins.

Anet get off your asses and release something substantial, thanks.

There is crafting in Guild Wars 2. Crafting is very tedious task in GW2. For many non-elite gamers, it looks complex. But once you started the crafting process, you get the hang of how it works, it can be fun. There are literally thousands of recipe to be discovered and learn. I don't think anyone, even if you are an elite player, will you ever discovered ALL of the recipe. I bow down to anyone that have one of their character discovered all the crafting recipes. I have spend so much cash trying to craft all of the known recipe I can put my hands on, but there are tons of recipe on Trading Post that I can't even afford the cash to buy to learn them. Crafting is not random. Mystic Forge yields random items but that is not real crafting machine. Many people call that "mystic toilet". The crafting require that you learn the recipe. The items crafted does not give random results. All the stats are fixed.

Crafting in GW2 is a breeze compared to Aion.

In Aion you could spend 4 hours crafting and you might gain 50 levels in your crafting profession. You're still subject to rng that might or might not allow you to fail a really expensive craft.

In GW2 you could spend 4 hours crafting and completely max out your profession and be able to make the best of the best as far as items go (excluding legendaries). It's actually one of the few places in the game that doesn't revovle around RNG but the downside is that you shouldn't expect to use it to make money in game.

i have played a lot of MMO games in my life and i can say that While generally i have a lot of fun playing Guild Wars 2 and I love a lot of the systems they use (especially crafting) I do not find it as easy to find friends in that game as other games. I have never once run a dungeon in the game (other than the special ones from Holidays) as it is to difficult to find a group, and with out running in groups it is difficult to see the same people over and over again.

However, at the same time i have noticed that at least on my server anyway which is supposed to be a High server load all the time, generally i never see other people while i am playing out of a town.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all by Taras Buria Over the last few months, Microsoft has been very busy fixing Windows 11 with features that users have been asking the company for a long time. An upgraded Start menu, the ability to change the taskbar position, new Windows Update features, and plenty more. However, not all changes are visible on the surface. Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users. The so-called "Low Latency Profile" is a special performance mode that aims to make Windows 11 snappier and more responsive. It boosts the processor clock speed to its maximum for a brief moment when rendering user interface elements or launching apps. As such, apps launch faster, and things like the Start menu or quick settings appear on the screen faster, although some are sceptical about it. Microsoft is not sharing many details about the new profile. The official release notes do not even mention it, with Microsoft only saying that the update "accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center." Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack wherever convenient. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:58989092 and press Enter. Restart your computer. After restarting your computer, launch Task Manager or any other hardware-monitoring software and check the processor clocks when opening the Start menu, Action Center, and more. Your processor should spike to its highest possible speed and then return to lower clocks. In addition to Low Latency Mode, the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update delivers additional features, such as multi-camera mode for apps (several apps can use a single camera stream), shared Bluetooth audio, improved Task Manager, and more.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I agree, especially with newer versions of MS Office supporting ODF documents, there isn't even a compatibility argument to be made. It should default to ODF on a clean install, with admin configurable options to make MS Office the default if that is desired.
    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
